She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye
Morning's come
And Lord my mind is aching (yes, it is)
The sunshine's standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn
My heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor
Once again the whole town will be talking
Lord, I've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand
It's her sorrow, it's not a man
And no matter what they say
We know she tried
Baby's packed her soft things
And she's left me, she's left me, she's left me
And I know she didn't mean to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord, it's her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind
Why, she even woke me up to say goodbye
It's not her heart Lord, it's her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind
Why, she even woke me up to say goodbye
Goodbye baby
And Lord my mind is aching (yes, it is)
The sunshine's standing quietly at my door
Just like the dawn
My heart is silently breaking
With my tears it goes tumbling to the floor
Once again the whole town will be talking
Lord, I've seen the pity that's in their eyes
They could never understand
It's her sorrow, it's not a man
And no matter what they say
We know she tried
Baby's packed her soft things
And she's left me, she's left me, she's left me
And I know she didn't mean to make me cry
It's not her heart Lord, it's her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind
Why, she even woke me up to say goodbye
It's not her heart Lord, it's her mind
She didn't mean to be unkind
Why, she even woke me up to say goodbye
Goodbye baby
